Professor Barraclough. who is on a lect ure tour of Canada and the United States, pointed out that the significance of history lies in its interrelationship.
European History “The* history of Europe and the Atlantic in general is not representative enough to warrant an intensive study.” he emphasized. “The history of the Pacific ^nd events relating 1o it must be studied even more than European history.”
“In its widest sense. Atlantic history and Pacific history should he merged into world his-

The great polarization of powers in modern times cannot be explained by historians who look io Europe. The decline of European prestige has given wav to Pacific dominance." he said.

Tickets will be on sale at the door for tonight’s performance for $1 and in the drama office and the Bovard box office tomorrow for Friday and Saturday night performances.
The money from the tickets will go to the drama students’ scholarship fund sponsored by the National Collegiate Players.
Opening Night The play first opened at the Theatre de Babylon in Paris in the winter of 1952. It was presented in the United States in 1956. It has received many reviews; most of them have either raved about it or condemned it as being totally worthless.
Jean Anouilh, author of “The Waltz of the Toreadors,” described the play’s extraordinary evocation of madness, boredom, human suffering as “Nothing happens. nobody comes, nobody goes,
1 it is terrible.”
Beckett was born in Dublin in 1906. He went to Portora Royal School at Enniskillen and received his BA in French and Italian from Trinity College. Dublin, in 1927.
College Lecturer His first book, “Whoroscope." a long poem, was printed in 1930 while he was in Paris at the Ecole Normale Superieure as Lecteur d’Anglais. The next >ear he returned to Trinity College as a lecturer in French and took hi£ MA.
During his stay at the college he published his first critical work, a study of Marcel Proust. In 1932 he resigned his post to travel and to write in London, France and Germany for the next four years.
Novel. Stories. Poems “More Pricks than Kicks,” a collection of short stories and "Echo’s Bones.” a collection of poems were published at this time. His novel “Murphy” was printed in 1938. From 1942 to 1944 he was in the Vaucluse where he finished his last work in English, “Watt,” a novel.
From 1950 to 1953 he wrote three novels. “Molloy,” "Malone Meurt.’ ’ and “L’Innommable”; and his play “En Attendant Godot.” all in French, his adopted language.
Since that time he has written numerous articles
i have been published throughout the world.
Beckett served as James Joyce's secretary and it has been felt by many critics that his writing was influenced by Joyce, particularly in the way he makes the simple complex.
World-Wide Presentation
The play has been presented all over the world.
“To my know'edge we are the first school m this area, and probably in the west coast to
attempt this production because it is so difficult and intricate.’’ said Bill White. producer of SC's production.
“It is kind of a frightening show to do because every time one hears it or does it one sees something new,” said White as he discussed the many implications in the play which seem ob-vious after constant rereading.
White feels that the play has limited appeal because it forces its audience to think, creating a mental response that feeds the emotions. Because it demands a great deal of thoueht, he maintains a university campus is the ideal place to present this play.
Chemist Gets Austria Trip For Studies
The first Fulbright appointment in chemistry to Austria as a senior research scholar was received today by Dr. Norman Kharasch, professor of chemistry at SC.
Dr. Kharasch will leave the SC campus the end of August, accompanied by Mrs. Kharasch. to spend a year conducting research on organic chemistry at the Vienna Institute of Technology. He will seek new directions for his studies of organic sulfur compounds and the chemistry of thyroid hormones.
Dr. Kharasch. who has been on the SC chemistry faculty since 1946. is a graduate of the University of Chicago and Northwestern University. He has pioneered in research in the synthesis and mechanisms of reactions of organic sulfur compounds including sulfuric acid derivatives, sulfur-fluorine com-which pounds, olefins, and acetylenes.
